SUMMARY:Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Blood Tribe Department of Health is offering a Diabetic Retinopathy Screening for all individuals living with diabetes. This critical examination can help prevent blindness by detecting retinal damage early. \nWhy You Should Get Screened\nDiabetes can damage the retina (the nerve layer at the back of the eye)\, leading to diabetic retinopathy\, one of the most common causes of blindness among working-age adults. Early detection through retinal photography is crucial\, as treatment becomes less effective if vision problems develop. \nWhat’s Included in the Screening? \n\nVisual acuity check\nIntraocular pressure measurement\nRetinal photography (with pupil dilation)\n\nDon’t wait for vision problems to arise before taking action. This screening is a key step in protecting your eyesight and managing your diabetes effectively. \nDate & Location\nWhen: September 17-19\, 2024\nWhere: Blood Tribe Department of Health \nHow to Book an Appointment\nPlease call Corrine at the Blood Tribe Department of Health to book your appointment.\nPhone: (403) 737-3933 Ext. 8462
